Overview
- LeBron James confirmed after the Lakers’ 120-101 win over the Wizards that he shattered a driveway backboard during a 2014 one-on-one with his son, Bronny, while disputing that Bronny beat him.
- He said he drove past Bronny for a dunk that broke the glass and credited his Miami-era power for the break.
- James joked he never bought a replacement hoop for their Miami home after the backboard shattered.
- The story resurfaced after Bronny said he won that game and that the broken backboard ended the matchup.
- The exchange comes as Bronny earns Lakers minutes and turns in strong G League showings, including a 26-point night for South Bay, with the duo recently recording the NBA’s first father-son assist.
